Appalachian Coalminers To Lose Jobs Thanks To Obama

"President Obama has stated that he is going to save or create up to 4 million jobs, but it seems to me that more and more jobs are being lost. IBM announced yesterday that they would be laying off 5,000 people. And now, thanks to the climate change freaks and President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency, 77,000 Appalachian coalminers are in danger of losing their jobs. Expressing 'serious concerns' about our environment, the EPA announced it was putting mountaintop mining permits on hold. The National Mining Association (NMA) has said that this action may eliminate high-paying jobs in what is already a relatively poor area of the country.
